James Madol: America's Nerdiest Neo-Nazi
At 1:23:02 · chapter starts 1:15:00
James Madol was raised in upstate New York by an antisemitic mother and found refuge in sci-fi as a teenager, absorbing the heaven-storming scientists and master races of 1930s pulp fiction. He formed the Animist Party in a pulp magazine in 1945 — an admirably ballsy year to launch a fascist movement — before taking over the National Renaissance Party from its elderly founder in 1949. [1] — Marcus Parks "In 1963, neo-Nazi James Madol's National Renaissance Party counter-protested CORE civil rights demonstrators outside White Castle restauran…" 1:19:00 Madol's most memorable moment came in 1963's White Castle Plot, in which his NRP showed up to counter-protest civil rights demonstrators from CORE outside Bronx White Castle restaurants. Three of his stormtroopers got beaten up by CORE members, went to the police to report it, and a detective glanced at their truck and saw a .22 revolver, tear gas guns, a crossbow with a steel-tipped arrow, a butcher knife, a switchblade, a straight razor, and an axe all in plain view. Eight members were arrested. When Madol died of cancer in 1979, his mother handed the NRP's entire archives to a loyalist at the funeral; the loyalist hit a concrete abutment on the highway home and was killed instantly, the records blowing away as New York City litter. The NRP ended within days of Madol's death.

The NRP ended farcically when its records, entrusted to a loyalist at Madol's 1979 funeral, blew away on a New York highway after the man died in a crash on his way home.
Gandalf had to die as Gandalf the Grey to be reborn as Gandalf the White. LaVey refused to die the death his first phase required. He crystallized himself in his own mythology, surrounded himself with his youth, and became a bitter relic. Every powerful occult figure — Crowley, Blavatsky, LaVey — fails the same way. They refuse the third phase.
